- RRodneyPortland / Oregon •19 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoOnce again, we had a wonderful Thanksgiving Dinner at Jake's Famous Crawfish. We come her often for dinner and it never disappoints us. Food and service is consistently good. Our server, Charlotte, remembered us from a previous visits and again, did a fabulous job in taking care of us, as well as others, as I observed.More infoJake's Famous CrawfishPrice: Moderate• Seafood• Downtown•4.7
- GGaryPortland / Oregon •2 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoPortland City Grill is always a fun experience. From the 30th floor of Portland's "Big Pink" the views can be spectacular, and usually are. Over my twenty years as a resident of the Portland area I have been to Portland City many times. Actually my first date, after moving to Portland, was in the bar at Portland City Grill. I have enjoyed the restaurant with many family and friends, and they are always at the ambiance, service, food, and of course the view. I took a friend there for Thanksgiving Dinner in 2024, the restaurant had a special Thanksgiving Dinner meal, with all the fixings included. We had a wonderful view of Mount Hood. The staff provided excellent service, even with the restaurant being very busy, we still felt well cared for, and the meal was terrific.More infoPortland City GrillPrice: Expensive• Seafood• Downtown•4.5
- LLynnSacramento / Sacramento Valley •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoAmazing Thanksgiving meal - every bite was delicious. And the cocktails too. We ate outside with a dog, and it was cold in spite of the heat lamps, but otherwise it was a simply perfect dining experience! Loved the decor inside, especially the framed handwritten recipes from the owner's grandmother (reminded me of ones I have from my grandmother!)More infoScreen Door - Pearl DistrictPrice: Moderate• Southern• Pearl District•4.7

- MMichelleOrange County •8 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoMade a lunch reservation for 2 people @12:15pm. The restaurant was basically empty (only a few tables with guests seated) when I arrived. We were seated immediately at a window table with a fabulous view. A friendly server arrived promptly & answered all our questions about the menu items. My friend and I shared Caesar salad, king salmon, goat milk cheesecake and cappuccinos, all of which were delicious, well prepared and beautifully presented. We enjoyed this tasty lunch and impeccable service… we’ll be back!More infoBellpine at The Ritz-Carlton PortlandPrice: Very Expensive• American• Northwest Portland•4.6
